Write
and, for the three-line topology,
and define the four-line integral
with every propagator momentum restricted to the fast shell.
The first cumulant contains
Since the quadratic free energy is , this gives
The mixed term in the second cumulant is
Wick contraction with the printed normalization and gives, at zero external momentum,
The coefficients respectively combine the two placements of both external legs in the two-line topology, the three-line topology with one external leg on each vertex, and the four-line topology. Couplings normalized as and absorb the corresponding factorials, which is why formulas in that convention have much smaller numerical coefficients.
